Why is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 not working?

Hi Rian,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. You shared that your yoke and throttle does not work normally.

Is your throttle Xbox compatible? If yes, and you're still experiencing issues, I would recommend that you try to completely uninstall the game and reinstall it to eliminate any possible corrupted game data.

To make sure that what you are experiencing is not related to your device cache, I would recommend that you perform a power cycle. Please note that this is different from a regular restart, Kindly follow the steps below.

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 50 seconds.

Important: Make sure that you wait at least 50 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

3. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

Important If your console is in Sleep mode, the above steps will shut the console off completely. Sleep mode, or the ability to turn on your console by saying "Xbox on," won't be enabled until you restart the console.

If you've done all the possible troubleshooting steps but you're still having issues with this specific game, I would recommend that you submit a support ticket directly to the developers of the game. By doing this, we can be sure that your case will be logged, attended and monitored accordingly. Please use this link:

Hello, Harsha V. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

As far as I'm concerned, this laptop has an integrated graphics card, which means that it's not enough to run a high demanding game like Flight Simulator unless you have an external graphics card.

Below, I'm going to share the official requirements for flight simulator 2020:

For Flight Simulator 2024, the game developer didn't announce officially on which date the game will be released, the minimum and recommended requirements, but here's the official FAQ:

flight simulator 2024 has not been released yet so you have 2020

Hi Elliot,

Are you referring to MSFS 2020? The exact release date for MSFS 2024 hasn’t been confirmed yet. All we know is that it’s planned for release sometime this year, and there may be more info at the games showcase in a couple of days.

Is there anything specific in the game that you’re looking for help with? The aircraft manuals offer some guidance.

If the newer game is indeed the one you’re enquiring about, refer to the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ

If you still have any questions or feedback about this, it would be best to ask on the official MSFS Community Forums or contact MSFS Support directly. You can submit a request at https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/requests/new - select the 2024 game version in the list.

Hope this helps.
